Hacking VSCO E-M5 Camera Profiles for Olympus E-PL5 or E-PM2

First off, thanks for the tip.

Unfortunately, it's not clear to me how to determine the correct value for the UniqueCameraModelRestriction element for an arbitrary raw file. I'm trying to make a copy of an E-M5I profile that will work with raws from the E-M5II, but I haven't yet figured out the correct Camera Model value to use for it.

I'll continue attempting to work it out via trial and error, but I thought I'd see whether you knew exactly how to determine which Camera Model value to use for any arbitrary camera.

For instance, should I look in a raw file? When I look in a raw file from my E-M5I, I don't see any values that match the value in my VSCO UniqueCameraModelRestriction elements in .dcp files for that camera. Same is true if I view the metadata for an E-M5I raw in LightRoom.

If I figure out the correct value for the E-M5II on my own, I'll report back here, but it'd also be great to know how to determine the correct value for any arbitrary camera for future reference.

The correct UniqueCameraModelRestriction value for the E-M5II is "Olympus E-M5 Mark II".

I figured that out by using dcptool to decompile one of the Adobe camera-specific profiles for the E-M5II and checking the value there. Still not sure whether or not there's an easier way to determine the correct value for an arbitrary camera - whether or not there's a master list of these, for example.
